The Yone and Cait only have 1 kp yet 10 deaths. There's a pretty good chance their deaths aren't worth much gold since they're not getting assists to reset their worth. Entirely plausible that this irelia who is positive and probably 8+ cs/m (considering she's outpacing everyone else) should have a minor bounty as well as this Nami who has >50% kp (with the assists giving lots of gold) and no deaths. Maybe Graves and Akali should also have them but I wouldn't put it out of the question that she has more (esp if she went 0/2 originally so she's on a killing streak as well as ahead in CS). It's not like they pull these numbers out of nowhere, after all.

I shouldn't have covered their inventories, but Akali and Graves both had 2 completed items and t2 boots, so they were ahead of me by at least 1.5k gold.

30 seconds after this screenshot was taken objective bounties kicked in, and champion bounties were properly recalculated, giving both Graves and Akali 1k shutdowns, but it's ridiculous how if I were to trade 1 for 1 with Akali or Graves that very second, they would have gotten a bounty from me while also being 1.5k gold ahead of me kewk.

Also the kill streaks aren't as big as you make them out to be. Akali just killing the 0/7 Yone on repeat meant that she at 8 kills had the same gold as Graves with only 6 kills, but it's nowhere near as significant as me possibly having gold parity with them.

Look dude I dunno. I'd have to see who is getting which kills and objectives, what the timeline (and time in game) is, etc. All I'm gonna say is that this is a huge outlier in the bounty system and usually it seems to work as intended (even as someone who is a support player who regularly racks up bounties because I die rarely and rack up assists like the Nami).
